• Problem with the password file / restore

  I have a big problem. My laptop [Win XP] had a hardware problem, and I have no external data backup.
  The hard drive is always perfect and I have now connected it as external drive to another laptop [Win Vista].
  Now, I like to use / recover the password file and copy it from the external drive on the new laptop so I have all the passwords again.

  How can I do this?
  Where can I find the encrypted file and where should I put it?
  Depends on this version? I have an older version on the old laptop [I think than 3.4] and now I have 3.6.

  A BIG Thank YOU in advance

• When updating the password file database

  In our infrastructure, we have several databases (all 11 GR 2 on Linux) who have access to the same password file.

  If the password of a user stored in the password file is changed in a database, this user password is changed in all databases that use this password file.

  If I query the view of sys.user$, I can see when a user has changed, but only for this database and need to check each database to see if the password has been changed for this database. Is it possible to see which update this file to shared password without connecting to each individual database database?

  Thank you!

  Hi Garrett.

  You have active audit? Also, if you have defined AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS to true, you should have some information placed in the $ aud. As Joel Suggested, check the timestamp of the change in the password file.

  I think that if you enabled audit_sys_operations, you would also have records written to audit trail operating systems $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit.

  On another note, according to the literature and my test, if the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = SHARED, then you could not change the password for the SYS or other users with SYSDBA privilege.

  So, I was wondering if REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE was the EXCLUSIVE value before the change and changed back? This isn't a dynamic parameter, so you will have to restart your DB. Please check if there's any DB restart or change the setting in the alert.log.

• Connecting to a remote database (slowed down) with the password file authentication

  Hi all
  
  I was wondering if it is possible to connect to a remote database is stopped (idle instance) as user sys with sysdba privileges? It is said in the Oracle book - one to page 210 in the section - operating system and the file password authentication:
  
  Connection with authentication by password file or operating system is always possible, any State of the instance and the database are in and it is necessary to issue commands to START or STOP.
  
  Above indicates that it is possible, but I can't do it.
  
  I managed to connect to the remote database that was in mode nomount (see below for more details).
  
  When I first tried to connect to a remote database (idle instance) using the password file authentication, it gave due to error:
  

  sqlplus sys@ORCL as sysdba

  SQL * more: Production of the version 11.2.0.3.0 Fri dec 21 13:59:28 2012
  
  Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
  
  Enter the password:
  ERROR:
  ORA-12514: TNS:listener is not currently of service requested in connect
  descriptor of
  
  Enter the user name:
  
  After the start of the database in nomount mode I was getting following error:
  

  sqlplus sys@ORCL as sysdba

  SQL * more: Production of the version 11.2.0.3.0 Fri dec 21 13:48:36 2012

  Enter the password:
  ERROR:
  ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections
  
  Enter the user name:
  
  Then I added the clause (UR = A) my listener.ora file and after that it work and I was able to connect:
  

  sqlplus sys@ORCL as sysdba

  I have all the entries of necessairly in tnsnames.ora on my local host.
  
  Also, I have no problems when connecting as user sys with sysdba when the DB is open, but can't get it working on an idle instance.
  
  I know I can use OS authentication but want to know if there is a mistake in the book or I'm doing something wrong.
  
  Kind regards

  You can, but you need to statically register the database with the listener.

• problem connecting via the password file

  Hi all
  
  I'm using oracle 11g release 1 on CENTOS LINUX 5.
  I have a problem with the connection AS

  UID = 500 (Oracle) gid = 500 (oinstall) groups = 500 (oinstall), 501 (dba) context = user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
  
  any help is appreciated

  The name of the password file is not random.
  The SID is case-sensitive, and the UNIX password file has No extension!
  So if we're not the file name, the passwordfile will not be used.
  This file name looks bad, at least the .ora bit should be removed.

• Question about the password file

  Good afternoon
  
  In document s/n 2 days, she says:
  
  >
  When you call DBCA as part of the installation procedure for Oracle, DBCA database
  create a password with a single input file: the user SYS.
  >
  
  I created the database using DBCA and it must have created a file password for me since I was able to connect to the database remotely.
  
  The question is: I can't locate the created password THAT DBCA, I don't know what his name. Can someone give me the name of THAT DBCA is using the password file?
  
  Thanks a lot for help.

• I get a widow in my lower toolbar that rpet low disk space, and when I click it to try to delete the old files, it does nothing... so what do I do... ?

  I get a window in my toolbar lower repeating me low disk space and when I click it to try to remove the old files, it does nothing... so what should I do to get rid of the files in a "D" file...?

  Please perform these steps and the back of the report.

  Click Start, click computer, and it will display your hard drives and their letters. Normally C: is your operating system and where everything is stored (user: files, programs, Documents, photos, etc.). The D: is your RECOVERY partition and contains a copy of the first installation of the plant. The D: is small, about 9 to 15 GB, depending on the version of Windows.

  For example, my C: displays 306 GB free (unused) 374 GB (hard disk capacity). D: shows 2.11 free 11.5 GB GB. This is normal for HP, Compaq and others. New HP (Win 7) include an E: with less than 1 GB of capacity, to store a program utility tools. These so-called hard disks are in fact partitions installed on a physical hard disk, but not to concern. The c: partition free space is your important answer. BeAware that the D: and E: (if you have the configuration described above, are never to be used as restore points, or your personal files, they are allocated by the manufacturer to support the reinstallation of the operating system.) My example shows that my C: partition made only 68GB used on the disc, 306 GB is free (unused) 374 GB capacity.

  (1) report with numbers, and you can be helped.

  (2) Vista writes copies ghosts of all your documents (previous versions of the files). These can take many GB.

  (3) when he gets less than 20 percent free, you start to have problems with the disk defragmentation. Less than 10% results in critical problems, the problems of performance and for the worse.

  (4) if the number of free GB is really a low disk space issue, you need to move some of the large data files (pictures, videos,...) out on CD or DVD.

  If it helps, let me know. I'm not a moderator, just a user trying to use simple language to help others.

• Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

  Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

  Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7.  For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts.  It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft.  I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.

  After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared.  I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download.  I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

• Firefox does not load the password files

  Firefox uses two files to load and store passwords:
  signons3.txt and sign. Lite
  The two files are present in the profile and both are filled with relevant information of password. However, the password manager, which is located under Options, remains empty. When I opened the Web pages that require passwords, and which I know for sure that they are in the files of passwords, firefox does not work shall complete them boxes apprioriate. Logical, as the passwords are not loaded in password manager

  Additional information:
  When I now save a password for a Web page, it does not store the information and fills the boxes on the Web page.
  [This problem occurred when setting back the old profile [copy - paste] in the right folder I found through cards help-resolution of problems-show]

  No I have not thought about it.
  Make a copy of the entire profile.
  copy the old information in the newly created profile

  Took an old signons3.txt from backup
  Has taken the last signon.lite that contains all of these passwords
  Both of these placed files [Replace] in the new profiel

  and voila. Everything is back

• [BCU] Error signature in the password file...

  Hey guys,.

  I use Configuration BIOS HP (BCU v. 4.0.13.1) utility to change the configuration of the BIOS.

  So I implemented a new password of BIOS with the HPQPswd tool.

  Everything worked well. Password is enabled.

  After that, I tried to make some changes to the boot order.

  "But every time, the weather with a config file, or with the command ' / setvalue:"Filename.txt "/cspwdfile:"filename.bin"", the following error message:

  < ERROR msg = "" Error Signature in the file password: Password.bin "/ >"

  < ERROR msg = 'BCU return the value' real '10' = translated = "10" / >

  If anyone can help me with this?

  Thanks for your response!

  Greetings,

  KKlein

  Hi Klein,

  According to the guide on the website of manageability http://hp.com/go/clientmanagement BCU, error code = 10 back which means "Password valid unplanned".

  I suggest you try the following:

  1 re create the bin file from password

  2 provide the full path to the bin file from password

  example:

  BIOSConfigUtility.exe /setconfig: "filename.txt" /cspwdfile:"c:\myshare\password.bin"

  where:

  Password.bin is located in c:\myshare

  Thank you.

• How to clear the recent files list in Dreamweaver CC 2015?

  I can't find any option in Dreamweaver CC 2015 to the list of recent files clear. There is an available option in Photoshop CC 2015.5 to the list of recent files clear (file > open recent item > clear recent file list). Could you please tell me how to do this in Dreamweaver? Now I'm clear recent files list manually by following this tutorial, however, is not a convenient way. So I ask the software developers to add this option (file > open recent item > clear recent file list) in Dreamweaver as Photoshop CC 2015.5 (if it is not added in Dreamweaver yet).

  Now I'm clear recent files list manually by following this tutorial, however, is not a convenient way.

  Editing the registry, as shown in this video, is the only way of doing what you want.

  Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you want to clear the list of recent files on a regular basis? I've never done in DW. In Photoshop, maybe a few times.

• Clear the Page file at shutdown - Windows 7

  I looked at ways to speed up the shutdown for Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit process and came to the conclusion that the only way to drastically improve the speed is to disable the registry key "ClearPageFileAt Shutdown".  I work for a fairly large company, and if this is the way to go, we need to implement this change on about 10 000 + desktop computers / laptops.  My question is how this change will affect the pc in the long term?  Is there a downside to this solution?  Some PCs take as long as two minutes to the stop.  With this change, it takes 13 seconds...

  Clear the pagefile at shutdown is a security measure, and one might expect Windows to close more slowly than usual
